Stuck in deep freeze feelings of
infinite sadness – sunk so deep
it cannot be brought to the surface
to be faced and maybe overcome
Sadness about something out of my
league, a thousand fathoms deep,
therefore I have no right to be
concerned about it, no right to
Lament in my pain and distress;
a sadness that stays in my deepest
psyche, manifesting in recurrent
nightmares and chronic fatigue
In my experiencing shock upon
learning the tabloids suspect Angie
of being ill – and that President
Mbeki’s positive comments
To President Nicolas Sarkozy’s
remarks that Africa’s culture leaves
no room for progress; are seen
as a racist slant by Africans –
A sadness I am not allowed,
but that puts my feelings in
deep freeze…

Sweetheart what an excellent way of putting it. Flowing and conversational as ever. Sadness not to be wallowed in but shelved or as you put it better frozen. Don't be sad.... purlease...... t xxx
